This course is an introductory course in object oriented programming. The fundamental concepts of object oriented programming will be studied using the C++ programming language.
The prerequisite for this course is BA 103 - Computers and Information Systems or BA 480 - Management Information Systems. It is assumed that students will be familiar with basic programming concepts and programming logic. No prior knowledge of the C programming language is required. Grades will be assigned based on performance on examinations and programming assignments.
